Enai Noki Paayum Thota

Don't know how Menon ditected this movie..slow screen play, tried in Hollywood style. Not upto director previous movies.

GVM! What have you done! (NO SPOILERS) ENPT is by far the worst GVM film. I have a few questions: (i) Was the voiceover completely necessary? There's a scene midway where Raghu (Dhanush) meets Lekha (Megha Akash) four years after their little rendezvous. Raghu in his monotonous voiceover says "Hi, how are you, Lekha? It's been a while." Why couldn't he have just opened his mouth and asked this? Why is the voiceover unnecessarily providing plot dumps. (ii) Sasikumar? Really? GVM movie characters are known to spit out English phrases and sentences. You wanted to find an actor to play an important but tiny role in the second-half and you went with Sasikumar? Really? (iii) What was Megha Akash told? Was she told that this was a movie or an ad film shoot? She is more wooden than the Redwood Forest. (iv) How did Sunaina agree to this? I get that she hasn't had any good roles recently but was she aware of what the role entailed? (v) What were you thinking, GVM? You've spent an incredible amount of money to make this piece of crap.

3.5 years since the date of its announcement, this movie finally got to see the light of day. Overcoming various struggles in making and release, the team had managed to sustain the expectation levels high throughout this phase. Whether the movie lives up to it is a big question mark.

Raghu (Dhanush) is an Engineering student at Chennai who falls in love at first sight with actress Lekha (Megha Akash) who comes to his college for a shooting. Surprisingly, Lekha also falls for him since the beginning and they get along. Lekha's guardian Guberan has other plans of making a fortune out of her acting career and is not ready to let her go. When Lekha decides to settle with Raghu, Guberan threatens Raghu's family and she has no other option but to give up her love interest. After 4 years, Lekha calls Raghu and informs him that she and Raghu's estranged brother Thiru (Sasikumar) are in trouble and she needs him to come to Mumbai. What happens at Mumbai and how Raghu manages to solve the crisis is the plot.

For 2.5 hrs, the audience get a claustrophobic attack of getting stuck in Dhanush's mind-voice.While Gautam Vasudev Menon's movies are known for the narration through the protagonist's mind-voice, this one has done it to death! While the first half was bearable because of the songs and the excitement of audience, the second half goes all over the place, lacking content and direction. The director has literally mocked the audience by showing how Dhanush escapes the gun shots because of his belt buckle and a key (?)! This is just one of the too many irking sequences in the movie. Sasikumar as a cop trying to deliver dialogues in English didn't gel too well. Darbuka Siva is the only saving face with his fresh rendering of music and BGM.

The hero keeps saying that he needs to shift from Auto Pilot mode to Beast mode to Death Wish mode. But the audience had been granted with Death Wish, by default!

The first half was completely a romantic one with good songs but without any story and coming to the second half, it builds a story but nothing works in a better way.The climax suspense is the only positive in this movie.Those who watched Acham yenpathu madanmaiyyada as an average movie dont go because this movie is under as per the quality of narration nor screenplay.

This movie works for some target types of audience who likes GVM storytelling and Dhanush fans

The problem is with the lack of proper pattern throughout. We know Gautham Menon has that potential to engage the audience to an outer perspective context but now he just slipped off and brought a dimension-less output. Went for the songs actually but here it did not goes off the mark. Poor visualization of songs and incorrect usage of non-linear pattern are the basic faults that i can feel throughout the movie. Gautham's significant portrayal is the addition of romance in his movie but here he never went up to that expectations. That's why I am done this rating to the movie.
